Sohal Tang

[AppleholicKen]

Anybody have any luck with this beauty ? How big is your tank to accommodate it and types of food?

Needs a lot of swimming space... In my opinion, at least 4 feet... Usually feeds readily and easily on pellets... However, it's aggressiveness leaves much to be desired...

Mine is with me for almost 2 years. Eats anything. Pellets mysis Henry's gourmet seaweed, brine shrimp, even as I clean my glass, it feeds off the algae threads created by my mag cleaner

I'm planning to keep it in a 6ft tank.. aggression is what I worry as I currently have quite a few tangs, purple, yellow, sailfin, blue & clown tang.

Yr challenge will be making sure yr purple n crown tang won't be too hostile to the sohal. My exp is crown tang is more aggressive than sohal. Being said all these, 6 ft tank is big. Good to set up qt area to allow yr sohal to settle down n get bigger size one.

My purple is quite a big size tang, aggression the typical PT type quite aggressive, Clown tang wise I got a small one but even though it's the smallest among my tangs now it shows a very high level of aggression that even the other tangs will not mess with it... HAHAHAHAHAHA I was planning to get a huge stable sohal from another reefer or LFS. Any idea how much will a nice show size sohal cost ?

Honestly speaking I already stop myself getting expensive fish that always have risk of dying so I actually get a clown tang instead and it survive for 2 months already and it's beautiful substitute for sohai haha. Not aggressive with blue tang and yellow

Irwana has them in a shipment 2 month ago. Quite rare.

Going for $380 for a 4inch one if memory serves.

Sohal tang is rather hardy. have been keeping sohal all these times and to me, a must have. Too bad the price went up but I think coral farm is still selling reasonably. Think they still have a few. For disease, I think apart from powder series, sohal, yellow, purple, etc tangs are generally disease free. Hope this helps.

I brought my Sohal from coral farm for $240 5 months ago size about 5 inch
